Patient-centered dosing in metastatic breast cancer
Improving quality of life and shared decision-making
Presented by Living Beyond Breast Cancer in partnership with Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson Health and Gilead.
Join an interactive discussion designed for oncology nurses, navigators, social workers, and other breast cancer providers exploring how patient-centered dosing can improve quality of life and strengthen communication with people living with metastatic breast cancer (MBC).
For people living with metastatic breast cancer, treatment is lifelong. How dosing decisions are made — and how those choices are discussed — can have a profound impact on your patients’ daily lives, emotional well-being, and treatment adherence.
Our panel will share practical strategies and real-world examples of how adjusting treatment cadence and dosing can preserve quality of life while maintaining clinical effectiveness.
You’ll also learn about new bilingual tools from LBBC in partnership with Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center that support shared decision-making and enhance patient education.
